Ipinaliwanag ni Hontiveros na ang panukala tungkol sa Safe Street Act ay naka-focus sa "unwanted comments, gestures, and actions forced on a person in a public space without their consent and is directed at them because of their actual or perceived sex, gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation and identity."

Kasunod nito, tinanong muli ni Sotto si Hontiveros ng ganito: “Are we not limiting the act of harassment when it’s committed on streets and public spaces by including the qualifier, gender based?"

Paliwanag pa ng senate president, "Baka puwedeng iwasan natin yun kasi, for instance, just to set an example: in an alley, a straight guy touched the groin of another straight guy who just happened to pass by just to vex him and not because of the person's SOGIE. In this bill, would the offender be held liable?

"For example, yung sinabi ko na binibiro lang, hinipuan na ganun, will they be liable? You said yes, the answer I think is no."

It is like vindicating these sex predators a freedom to nonconsensual groping to women anytime men wants to, and to us women, what do we get, “joke lang”? Like nothing happened? Magresign ka na Tito Sotto. Condoning sexual offenders means you are one and the same.

“Okay lang manghipo basta walang malisya” - Tito SottoWOW HOW FUCKED UP WAS THAT?!!!!! No wonder our country is swarming with people who feed on catcalling and harassment. I swear some people are fcking pigs!!!!!!

"For example, yung sinabi ko na binibiro lang, hinipuan na ganun, will they be liable? You (to @risahontiveros) said yes, the answer I think is NO." -Senate President Tito Sotto on the Safe Streets and Public Spaces Bill
